DETACHABLE BRACKET FOR STEAM-PUMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,440, dated August24, 1880. Application filed February 25, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR E. MILLER, of Canton, in the county of Starkand State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Detachable Bracket forSteam-Pumps and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention,which will enable othersskilledin the art to make and nseit, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawin g, forming part of thisspecification, wherein thefigure is a perspective view of the bracket applied to the pump, thelatter being principally shown by dotted lines.

My invention relates to a combined steam pump and engine, and has forits object to adapt it for use, either in a vertical, horizontal, orinclined position, in connection with a portable engine, such as is usedfor farm purposes, or with a stationary engine; and to this end itconsists in a bracket which can be readily attached to and detached fromthe pump and its support.

In the accompanying drawing, A represents a combined steam pump andengine, (shown principally by dotted lines,) and to the side thereof issecured a bracket, B, by means of bracket-arms G 0, connecting,respectively, with the pump-cylinder D and steam-cylinder E. Thebracket-arms are fastened to their supports by bolts and nuts or othersuitable and detachable fastenings, and the bracket is provided withbolt-holes for the passage of bolts, by which it can be attached to aboiler or other support, so as to be readily detached when desired.

As the shape of the bracket is not the essence of the invention, it canbe varied indefinitely, according to the position the pump and engineare to occupy.

By means of the detachable bracket the pump and engine can be used inany desired position, and as they are specially applicable tofarm-engines of all styles and patterns, the advantages of thedetachable bracket will be readily appreciated.

The pump and engine valves are arranged for adjustment so as to occupy avertical position Without regard to the position of the ma chine.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is The detachablebracket B, constructed as described, and combined with the engine andpump by the bracket-arms (J, substantially as herein set forth, for thepurpose specified.

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand this 13thday of February, A. D. 1880.

EDGAR E. MILLER.
